So do Gimenez and Springer eventually bump... Ali Sanchez obviously but Ty France? 

How can they possibly demote Loperfido or Schneider 

They probably will demote one of them and then bring him back up when rosters expand.

Why am I stopping? Do you disagree. Whose coming out of the lineup for him?

Ali Sanchez or France? You serious?

Yes, we do. His defense alone at 2B is worth rostering. I also still have faith that he can be an average or slightly better bat based on his xWOBA.

He's basically Orlando Hudson 2.0.

There's no reason to get too far ahead of ourselves. Gimenez it's still a couple of weeks away. Lots can change between now and then.

Late in games but he doesn't need to start at 2B. I think Ernie gives us a better chance to win at that position. With that being said they will most likely platoon 2B. With Ernie getting reps at 3B.

I'd assume they'd want to give France a chance? So, loperfido until rosters expand. 
They need Schneider for the weak side platoon. I'd cut France though.

Gimenez will be up in time for his bobble head night.  Selfish bastard.

Ali Sanchez is the backup Catcher lol. And France is a 1B. I mean yes on the roster he will get on. I clearly meant playing everyday.

[Masterbather]

Laurer did very well.

Ernie Clement can play 1b in a pinch.  They should dump France.

[Jays24]

Look at what we're discussing... struggling to decide who to demote once Gimenez is healthy and how to insert Bieber into the rotation.  These are great team problems!!

Agreed. I don't even understand why they traded for him. He's arguably the worst position player on the roster right now.

Must have been a salary dump (as small as it is) and for Minny since they were cutting payroll like mad men.  Also helps them open up a spot for a clear rebuild theyre doing.

Honestly forgot Andres Giminez existed until Hazel mentioned his name. Do we really want him to come and play everyday at this point. I feel like he should be strictly viewed as a defensive replacement off the bench at this point.

Yall need to stop it with this s***.

Yes we want all the regulars back healthy if possible.

I considered that possibility but France only makes $1M.

One of the strangest deadline acquisitions I can remember. 

Maybe if he played outfield it would make a bit of sense. It he was a great base stealer it would make sense. If he absolutely mashed lefties it would make sense.

But he does none of those things.

Ya I checked after I posted and then edited it post lol. 

[jmomcc]

I agree on salary dump. They are cutting to the bone there. 

[Masterbather]

BABIP ball today.

I'm not saying I don't want him back on the roster. The question is should he play everyday. I just don't think he should just because he's paid to play everyday.

Yankees tryna lose again

He should play everyday because he’s the best 2B on the roster. Thats it.
